“We’re excited to promote two action-packed days of activities and experiences — on land, in the water, and even underwater,” said Glenn Jones, BTA’s interim CEO. “While the United Nations focuses the world’s attention on tourism, this is an excellent opportunity here at home to support Bermuda’s experience providers and educate visitors on the tourism-industry excellence that sets our island apart from other destinations.”
Among the weekend’s special offers are museum and art gallery attractions, snorkelling expeditions, sailing cruises, history tours, national park excursions, boat rentals, and a “Backyard Party” at Tobacco Bay, St George’s. Vendors are offering deals of up to 25% off tours, rentals, and other activities.
